[Modat22]

the wife gets on me often for my reading materials in the bathroom, I figure I do my best thinking when I'm in there.

here's my current bathroom literature collection.

[Dan_Shade]

you must have some problems if you read the whole machinery's handbook, and now are onto the guide :-D

my head looks quite similar, only my machinery handbook (and guide) resides beside my PC.

It's the only place that I can get any peace and quite (4 and 5 yr olds)

[Modat22]

I save the guide for those extremely long moments of thought.

Honestly I go thru the guide and do practice problems, If I don't constantly excercise my math I forget it, alzhymers runs in my family so I figure all the math helps.

[PawNature]

Books, Magazines, Newspapers, Catalogs, Dictionary, Back of cereal boxes, Anything that is readable.

The only book in our bathroom is the Bible.  .......................................     Hey Modat,  I heared a report the other day about people that stay active mentaly have less risk of alzheimers. 

[DanG]

I heard that somewhere, but I forget where it was. ???

Fine Wood Working,tool catalogs. also, realise mistakes on projects and/or solve problems on same. Homer

A bathroom without "reading" material is like going to a base ball game without having a hot dog.

I think having reading material in the bathroom stems from the days of the back house and recycling last years edition of the Sears, Roebuck catalog.

Gezz Mod,
I thought you kept books like a novel in the bathroom.    
That would be kinda strange to me  ;D

Ya I have the old standbuys like Cabelas, Lee Valley, Fur Fish and Game,  Fine woodworking, American Rifle Man, the County plat map and so on.  Big reading items are always whatever I am working on, or just got.  Been known to read lots of manuals in the bathroom. And yes if desperate I too have been known to read soap bottles or anything with text on it :

OK, Who Has Wireless Internet and a Laptop.  Cause then you know what happens ??? ??? ???
You Read the Forestry Forum in the bathroom ;D ;D : :

Well *hides face* I do have a couple novels by the throne. I save those for all nighters.

[Don P]

I had ta go look. Simplified Engineering, Nat'l Geo, 3 copies of Journal of Light Construction, Woodworkers Supply, a journal and the code book. The last one is in case someone gets stranded  ;D.  Do you ever hear "are your legs asleep yet?" and then realize that they are  :D.

Remember what Ben Franklin said, "Nothing clears the mind ..."

I forgot one of the most important pieces of reading material in the downstairs bathroom. We put together 6 topo maps of the surrounding area and put them on the wall in front of of the seat of honor. I often get home from a new job and figure out where I've been and what I've been looking at.
